About this home
Welcome to 51 Scott Road, the former Trimble-Palmer House and Scotland Farm, a Revolutionary War-era estate where history and natural beauty converge. Nestled on nearly 3 private acres, this impressive home is perfectly positioned between the 160-acre Newlin Grist Mill park, with its breathtaking waterfalls and 8 miles of trails, and 42.5 acres of protected township open space, offering a lifestyle of unparalleled tranquility.
Step inside and be captivated by original details that tell a story of centuries past: wide-plank hardwood floors, two working fireplaces with hand-crafted mantels, deep-set windows, and high ceilings that fill the oversized rooms with light. The home’s intelligent design, featuring two staircases, ensures a wonderful flow for both modern living and grand entertaining.
The journey begins in the covered center-hall entrance, leading to a gracious foyer with a curved staircase. Discover an oversized living room, a grand dining room ready for a 12-person soirée, and the warm inviting heart of the home, the kitchen. Housed in the original 1780s section, the kitchen features a charming inglenook fireplace, creating a cozy gathering spot.
Upstairs, the home reveals its flexibility with seven generously size bedrooms. The second floor hosts several bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private ensuite, a convenient second-floor laundry, and a sunny Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The home’s impressive curved staircase ascends to the third level, where three additional bedrooms and a large walk-in closet await.
The wrap-around porch provides a sweeping view of the countryside, tennis court, pond, and the Newlin Grist Mill park. A William Penn Oak tree still adorns the property. Just down the hill from the house sits a spacious lean-to style barn allowing for protected storage of grass cutting and other equipment and a large fenced in area for animals. An expansive greenhouse sits outside the walkout basement just ahead of the 1/8 acre which the owners cultivated as a large garden for many years. There is ample acreage to plant fruit trees and restore the garden to its original use. The patio and oversized deck afford a great space for entertaining.
This is more than a home; it’s a piece of American history. Whether your passion is horses, fishing, gardening, tennis, a small hobby farm, or simply privacy, the expansive grounds provide unmatched flexibility. Convenient to shopping, dining, arts, and medical facilities, this home also allows for quick access to I-95, the new Wawa Train Station, Philadelphia airport and Shore points. The tranquility of this peaceful, park-like setting is a unique opportunity for lovers of historic properties seeking a renovation project and the charm of all that this home has to offer.
